Package structure

ABSTRACT

A package structure is provided. The package structure includes a redistribution structure and a semiconductor die over the redistribution structure, and bonding elements below the redistribution structure. The semiconductor die has a first sidewall and a second sidewall connected to each other. The bonding elements include a first row of bonding elements and a second row of bonding elements. In a plan view, the second row of bonding elements is arranged between the first row of bonding elements and an extending line of the second sidewall. A minimum distance between the second row of bonding elements and the first sidewall is greater than the minimum distance between the first row of bonding elements and the first sidewall.

BACKGROUND

The semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) industry has experienced rapid growth. Continuing advances in semiconductor manufacturing processes have resulted in semiconductor devices with finer features and/or higher degrees of integration. Functional density (i.e., the number of interconnected devices per chip area) has generally increased while feature size (i.e., the smallest component that can be created using a fabrication process) has decreased. This scaling-down process generally provides benefits by increasing production efficiency and lowering associated costs.

A chip package not only provides protection for semiconductor devices from environmental contaminants, but also provides a connection interface for the semiconductor devices packaged therein. Smaller package structures, which utilize a smaller area or are lower in height, have been developed to package the semiconductor devices.

New packaging technologies have been developed to further improve the density and functionalities of semiconductor dies. These relatively new types of packaging technologies for semiconductor dies face manufacturing challenges.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the provided subject matter. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, the formation of a first feature over or on a second feature in the description that follows may include embodiments in which the first and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in which additional features may be formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact. In addition, the present disclosure may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed.

Further, spatially relative terms, such as “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. The apparatus may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein may likewise be interpreted accordingly.

The term “substantially” in the description, such as in “substantially flat” or in “substantially coplanar”, etc., will be understood by the person skilled in the art. In some embodiments the adjective substantially may be removed. Where applicable, the term “substantially” may also include embodiments with “entirely”, “completely”, “all”, etc. Where applicable, the term “substantially” may also relate to 90% or higher, such as 95% or higher, especially 99% or higher, including 100%. Furthermore, terms such as “substantially parallel” or “substantially perpendicular” are to be interpreted as not to exclude insignificant deviation from the specified arrangement and may include for example deviations of up to 10°. The word “substantially” does not exclude “completely” e.g. a composition which is “substantially free” from Y may be completely free from Y.

Terms such as “about” in conjunction with a specific distance or size are to be interpreted so as not to exclude insignificant deviation from the specified distance or size and may include for example deviations of up to 10%. The term “about” in relation to a numerical value x may mean x ±5 or 10%.

Some embodiments of the disclosure are described. Additional operations can be provided before, during, and/or after the stages described in these embodiments. Some of the stages that are described can be replaced or eliminated for different embodiments. Additional features can be added to the semiconductor device structure. Some of the features described below can be replaced or eliminated for different embodiments. Although some embodiments are discussed with operations performed in a particular order, these operations may be performed in another logical order.

Embodiments of the disclosure may relate to 3D packaging or 3D-IC devices. Other features and processes may also be included. For example, testing structures may be included to aid in the verification testing of the 3D packaging or 3D-IC devices. The testing structures may include, for example, test pads formed in a redistribution layer or on a substrate that allows the testing of the 3D packaging or 3D-IC, the use of probes and/or probe cards, and the like. The verification testing may be performed on intermediate structures as well as the final structure. Additionally, the structures and methods disclosed herein may be used in conjunction with testing methodologies that incorporate intermediate verification of known good dies to increase the yield and decrease costs.

Embodiments of a package structure are provided. The package structure may include a semiconductor die over a redistribution structure and bonding elements below the redistribution structure. The bonding elements may be kept at an appropriate distance from the corners of the semiconductor die by defining keep-out zones of the bonding elements, thereby reducing or mitigating a tensile stress induced by the bonding elements. As a result, the risk of cracking of an underfill material may be reduced, and thus the performance and reliability of the package structure may be improved.

FIGS. 1A through 1H are cross-sectional views illustrating the formation of a package structure at various intermediate stages, in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure.

A carrier substrate 102 is received or provided, as shown in FIG. 1A, in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the carrier substrate 102 is a ceramic substrate, a glass substrate, a polymer substrate, a semiconductor substrate, or another suitable substrate.

An adhesive tape 104 is disposed over the carrier substrate 102, as shown in FIG. 1A, in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the adhesive tape 104 is sensitive to an energy beam irradiation. In some embodiments, the adhesive tape 104 is a release layer that is made of or includes a light-to-heat conversion (LTHC) material. For example, a laser beam may be used to irradiate the adhesive tape 104 in a subsequent process. The irradiation may allow a package structure formed over the adhesive tape 104 to be separated from the carrier substrate 102.

A redistribution structure 106 is formed over the adhesive tape 104, as shown in FIG. 1A, in accordance with some embodiments. The redistribution structure 106 is configured for routing, which enables the formation of a package structure with fan-out features. The redistribution structure 106 may also be referred to as an interposer. The redistribution structure 106 has a bottom surface 106B facing the carrier substrate 102 and a top surface 106A facing away from the carrier substrate 102, in accordance with some embodiments.

In alternative embodiments, the insulating layers 114 are made of one or more dielectric materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride and/or silicon oxynitride.

In some embodiments, the conductive features 110 and 112 are made of metallic material such as copper, aluminum, gold, palladium, cobalt, titanium, nickel, silver, graphene, one or more other suitable conductive materials, an alloy thereof, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the conductive features 110 and 112 are made of non-solder metallic material. In some embodiments, the conductive features 110 and 112 include multiple sub-layers.

In some embodiments, an extending line SE1 of the sidewall S1 of the semiconductor die 120 passes through column A4, and an extending line SE2 of the sidewall S2 of the semiconductor die 120 passes through column B4.

In some embodiments, the bonding elements 148 (including 148O and 148I) have a size D1 in a range from about 50 μm to about 150 μm. In some embodiments, a distance D2 between neighboring outer bonding elements 148O is in a range from about 50 μm to about 200 μm. In some embodiments, the pitch P of the outer bonding elements 148O is in a range from about 100 μm to about 250 μm.

In some embodiments, a distance D2′ between neighboring inner bonding elements 148I is in a range from about 50 μm to about 200 μm. The distance D2′ may be less than the distance D2. In some embodiments, the pitch P′ of the inner bonding elements 148I is in a range from about 100 μm to about 250 μm. The pitch P′ may be less than the pitch P. In some embodiments, the ratio of pitch P′ to pitch P is in a range from about 0.5 to about 1.

In some embodiments, in FIG. 1G-2 , the inner bonding elements 148I are spaced apart from the periphery of the semiconductor die 120. That is, the footprints of the inner bonding elements 148I do not overlap the periphery of the semiconductor die 120, in accordance with some embodiments. For example, column a1 of the inner bonding elements 148I is spaced apart from the sidewall S1 by a distance D3. Row bl of the inner bonding elements 148 is spaced apart from the sidewall S2 by a distance D3. In some embodiments, the distance D3 is in a range from about 50 μm to about 200 μm. The distance D3 may be greater than the distance D2′. In some embodiments, the ratio of distance D3 to distance D2′ is in a range from about 1 to about 3.

In some embodiments, in FIG. 1G-2 , the outer bonding elements 148O are spaced apart from the periphery of the semiconductor die 120. That is, the footprints of the outer bonding elements 148O do not overlap the periphery of the semiconductor die 120, in accordance with some embodiments. For example, column A3 of the outer bonding elements 148O is spaced apart from the sidewall S1 by a distance D4. Row B3 of the outer bonding elements 148O is spaced apart from the sidewall S2 by a distance D4. In some embodiments, the distance D4 is in a range from about 50 μm to about 200 μm. The distance D4 may be greater than the distance D2. The distance D4 may be the equal to the distance D3. In some embodiments, the ratio of distance D4 to distance D2 is in a range from about 1 to about 3.

Therefore, a first keep-out zone KO1 is defined, in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, none of the bonding elements 148I and 148O is disposed within the first keep-out zone KO1. In other words, the first keep-out zone KO1 may be free from the bonding elements 148I and 148O in some embodiments. In some embodiments, in FIG. 1G-2 , the first keep-out zone KO1 is aligned with and extends along the periphery of the semiconductor die 120. In some embodiments, the first keep-out zone KO1 has a width D5 spanning the semiconductor die 120. The first keep-out zone KO1 may be a hollow ring area. In some embodiments, the distance D3 and/or D4 are greater than or equal to half of the width D5. In some embodiments, the width D5 is in a range from about 100 μm to about 400 μm.

In some embodiments, in FIG. 1G-2 , the bonding elements 148I and 148O are spaced apart from the corner (e.g., C1) of the semiconductor die 120 by a distance. For example, bonding elements 148 labeled O63, O52, O42, O32, O23, O24, O25, O36, I12 and I21 are a group of the bonding elements 148 closest to the corner C1 of the semiconductor die 120. The bonding elements O63, O52, O42, O32, O23, O24, O25, O36, I12 and I21 are spaced apart from the corner C1 of the semiconductor die 120 by distances D7. For these bonding elements, the distances D7 may not be the same. In some embodiments, the distance D7 is greater than the size D1, the distance D2, the distance D2′, the pitch P, the pitch P′ and the distance D3, and the distance D4. In some embodiments, the distance D7 is in a range from about 200 μm to about 500 μm.

In some embodiments, the ratio of distance D7 to size D1 is in a range from about 1.5 to about 8, such as about 2.5 to about 8, or about 4 to about 8. In some embodiments, the ratio of distance D7 to distance D2 is in a range from about 1.5 to about 10, such as about 2.5 to about 10, or about 4 to about 10. In some embodiments, the ratio of distance D7 to distance D3 or D4 is in a range from about 1.5 to about 10, such as about 2.5 to about 10, or about 4 to about 10.

Therefore, a second keep-out zone KO2 is defined, in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, none of the bonding element 148I and 148O is disposed within the second keep-out zone KO2. In other words, the second keep-out zone KO2 may be free from the bonding elements 148I and 148O in some embodiments. By defining the keep-out zone KO2 of the bonding elements 148, the bonding elements 148I and 148O may be kept at an appropriate distance from the corners C1-C4 of the semiconductor die 120, thereby reducing or mitigating a tensile stress induced by the bonding elements 148 and applied to a subsequently formed underfill material.

The second keep-out zone KO2 may be a circular area. In some embodiments, in FIG. 1G-2 , the center of the circular area of the second keep-out zone KO2 is located at the corner C1. In some embodiments, the circular area of the second keep-out zone KO2 has a diameter D6 that is greater than the size D1, the distance D2, the distance D2′, the pitch P, the pitch P′ and the distance D3, the distance D4, and the width D5. In some embodiments, the distance D7 are greater than or equal to half of the diameter D6. In some embodiments, the diameter D6 is in a range from about 350 μm to about 450 μm. In some embodiments, the ratio of diameter D6 to pitch P is in a range from about 1.5 to about 10.

If the diameter D6 of the keep-out zone KO2 (or the ratio of the diameter D6 to the pitch P) is too small, the stress applied to a subsequently formed underfill material may not be effectively mitigated, thereby increasing the risk of cracking of a subsequently formed underfill material. If the diameter D6 of the keep-out zone KO2 is too large, it may reduce the density of routing of the resulting package structure.

In illustrated embodiments, because of the presence of the second keep-out zone KO2, the positions (A5,B3), (A4,B3), (A3,B3), (A3,B4), (A3,B5), (a1,b1) of the arrays of the bonding elements 148O and 148I are reserved without disposing bonding elements.

In illustrated embodiments, row B3 includes consecutively arranged bonding elements O73, O63 and O23. The bonding elements O73 and O63 and the bonding element O23 are located on the opposite sides of an extending line SE1 of the sidewall S1 of the semiconductor die 120. A distance D8 between the bonding element O23 and the bonding element O63 is greater than size D1, the distance D2, the distance D2′, the pitch P, the pitch P′ and the distance D3, the distance D4, the width D5, the distance D7 and the diameter D6.

In illustrated embodiments, column A3 includes consecutively arranged bonding elements O37, O36 and O32. The bonding elements O37 and O36 and the bonding element O32 are located on the opposite sides of an extending line SE2 of the sidewall S2 of the semiconductor die 120. A distance D8 between the bonding element O32 and the bonding element O36 is greater than the size D1, the distance D2, the distance D2′, the pitch P, the pitch P′ and the distance D3, the distance D4, the width D5, the distance D7 and the diameter D6.

In illustrated embodiments, the minimum distance D9 between row b1 and the sidewall S1 (e.g., the distance between the bonding element 121 and the sidewall S1) is greater than the minimum distance D3 between row b2 and the sidewall S1 (e.g., the distance between bonding element 112 and the sidewall S1).

In illustrated embodiments, the minimum distance D10 between row B5 and the sidewall S1 (e.g., the distance between the bonding element O25 and the sidewall S1) is greater than the minimum distance D4 between row B6 and the sidewall S1 (e.g., the distance between bonding element O36 and the sidewall S1).

An underfill material 164 is formed over the upper surface of the substrate 160 and encapsulates the package structure 146 and the bonding elements 148, as shown in FIG. 1H, in accordance with some embodiments. The underfill material 164 fills the spacing between the bonding elements 148, in accordance with some embodiments. The underfill material 164 covers the sidewalls of the molding compound 140 and the sidewalls of the redistribution structure 106, in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the underfill material 164 is an electrically insulated adhesive for protecting the bonding elements 148 and/or securing the package structure 146. In some embodiments, the underfill material 164 is made of epoxy, resin, epoxy molding compounds, another suitable underfill material, and/or a combination thereof.

A large difference of coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) may exist between the substrate 160 and the semiconductor die 120, and thus a tensile stress may be induced and applied to the underfill material 138 during reliability tests, operations of the package structure and/or thermal processes. The bonding elements 148, which are more rigid than neighboring components, may concentrate the tensile stress at the corners C1-C4 of the semiconductor die 120. As such, the concentration of the tensile stress may cause cracks to be formed within the underfill material 138 from the corners of the semiconductor die 120.

In accordance with the embodiments of the present disclosure, by defining the keep-out zone KO2, the bonding elements 148I and 148O of the resulting package structure are kept at an appropriate distance from the corners C1-C4 of the semiconductor die 120, thereby reducing or mitigating the tensile stress induced by the bonding elements 148 and applied to the underfill material 138. As a result, the risk of cracking of the underfill material 138 may be reduced, and thus the performance and reliability of the package structure may be improved.
